Cyber attacks rarely start with technology. They begin with human behavior. In this lecture, Thomas Neurink shows how hackers think, what patterns they recognize and why organizations are often more predictable than they realize.

In The Hacker Mindset, Thomas Neurink takes the audience into the mindset of hackers. Not to share technical details, but to provide insight into how attackers observe organizations, interpret behavior and recognize opportunities.

The talk shows why cyber incidents often stem from routine, assumptions and human behavior, rather than complex hacks. Thomas translates real attack patterns into recognizable situations in the workplace and makes clear why security is ultimately a human issue.

No scare stories and no technical overload, but clear insight into how attackers think and why that matters.
